      Agree with Kiirrr left a 2-star rating here. I'd grade it a 1-star. This remaster is awful. Despite the the heavy vinyl quality and quite replay experience, this remaster sounds flat and lifeless. At best, that's the Gold Hits CD pressed on vinyl. To my experience, the original CD album sounds richer and better. If you'd like to spend $30-50 for a degraded version of the CD printed on vinyl, go ahead buy this one. Otherwise, it sounds awful to true ABBA greatest hits analog records. I think they should be prohibited from introducing digital remasters printed on vinyl presented it to the general public as the true vinyl records. The digital remaster solution printed on vinyl may work great for a very old records where no true analog records presented like in close to 100-years old original records. In the case with ABBA, it's a shame to make it! The analog master tapes of best possible deep, rich and lively stereo quality were recorded, and are preserved in pristine condition up to these days. A true rich vinyl record has to be engineered and recorded from the tapes, and could be also re-mastered from the source targeting even better audiophile experience. While in most of the cases "digitally" remastering best analog audio master tapes printing them on the vinyl, they just cheat you offering a common CD experience printed on a vinyl record charging double the price of a CD album while a vinyl record is more fragile to maintain undamaged in general. That's a trick ending most of the time with a lifeless flat record much worse than the original digitally re-mastered CD-version. If you're in a doubt, listen to the true analog vinyl records mastered from true analog audio master tapes.This vinyl album may be fine for those who never heard these ABBA hits printed on true vinyl or even officially released brand audio cassettes. You get overcharged 3 times with this one comparing to best true analog vinyl audiophile experience. That's the known bs pushed nowadays instead of true vinyl hi-fidelity analog rich records.

          Great release, much better quality than other Back to Black releases.

            The remaster is awful. What a crap... Totally disappointed with this issue. Don't waste your money. Original vinyls rule!

              Is a great album with excellent songs, but I regret the sound, it is rather flat, although it has good bass, but it lacks presence.
              I had noticed that some editions of back to black had that flat sound, something similar in noticed in some discs made by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs.
              It is unfortunate

                This is such a great release, this was the last in my ABBA Gold vinyl collection, I already had the More ABBA Gold and ABBA Oro on vinyl and was getting around to purchasing ABBA Gold and then this was announced so I held off for this, its a shame More ABBA Gold wasn't given the same treatment, i'm sure many ABBA fans would LOVE to hear a re-mastered version of I Am The City on 180 Gram vinyl :D
